About Nelly

Nelly Kamwa is a counsellor registered with NCPS with five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strains, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and a broad range of related concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.

Nelly focuses on practical steps people can take to change unhelpful habits and thoughts. She uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide conversations. The aim is to notice patterns, try different responses, and build small, repeatable skills for day-to-day life.

Her approach is direct and person-centred. Conversations focus on current problems and on solutions that fit a person’s routine. That may include simple behavioural experiments, shifting thoughts that cause distress, or building clearer communication patterns in relationships.

Nelly also works with issues linked to identity and life stage, including caregiving stress, chronic illness and bereavement. She regularly addresses concerns such as eating and sleeping problems, intimacy-related worries, anger, and self-esteem. For people with ADHD or attachment difficulties, sessions focus on practical strategies rather than labels.

Practical details are handled through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial session. That first meeting is used to set goals and agree on next steps.

How chosen approaches work for online sessions

CBT helps people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and routines. It uses short experiments and homework tasks to change the patterns that keep stress and anxiety active, and it is often used for sleep, eating and mood problems.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on what matters to the person and on taking committed action even when difficult thoughts appear. It helps with avoidance, low motivation and coping with chronic problems by building small, values-driven steps.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationship patterns affect current connections and communication. It can help identify expectations that lead to conflict or withdrawal and practice different ways of relating in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals, discuss what has or hasn’t helped before, and collaborate on an initial plan. That plan can combine methods and change as the client’s needs become clearer.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, because the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time, helping therapy to slot into daily life more easily.
